Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. "In between screenprint runs I have decided to release very small editions of bold and bright colored pattern prints. So this is the first print of the "pattern series". Printed here in Pittsburgh, I worked closely with the master printer to get the colors that I wanted to achieve; in person the colors really pop and I am extremely happy with the result. I hope that you like them too and as always thank you for your support."
